Against the Grain

Going against the grain is hard...even when you know (more than anything else you've ever known in your life) that you're on the right path. While you feel very fortunate, at the same time, you can also feel quite fragile. I equate this feeling with taking out the safety net from under you, feeling your way in the dark, or free falling off a cliff.

This post is dedicated to those who are doing what they love, because sometimes it can be a tougher road when your heart is completely exposed.

And when in doubt...eat a cupcake or two...? :P

Happy Tuesday, dear friends.

The Chloroplasts Have Multiplied...

Switching Gears

Thank you all so very much for your kind comments and text messages from my last post - it really means a lot! :*

I am still figuring things out and am trying to just "roll with it" the best that I can. Since my work is based on various mediums, and now that I'm dedicating all of my time to this, I am constantly switching gears, all the while, I guess, trying to establish some sort or routine. Incidentally, I also felt quite inspired and better about everything after reading Sandra's post on her work day (Tackar, dear S! xoxo).

Lastly, here are some photos of what I've been doing lately....

(...before they were fishbones, they were sperm...? :P)

Wishing you a happy weekend in your corner of the world.

ETSY and One of a Kind Spring Show!

Ummm....so a few weeks ago ETSY had invited me to be a part of their roster for the One of a Kind Spring Show here in Toronto, and today I found out that the One of a Kind Spring Show jury has also accepted me! :D

Hooray!

Now it's time to start cramming on some of these toys.....

(I'm gonna barf....)

Sister Sea Otters

Here are a pair of sea otters that I made as a special Christmas gift request from my friend David.

As you can see, they fancy having fish, shrimp and clams for dinner. :)

Happy Monday!

Time Flies

I can't believe it's already August....
It's been a busy, busy Summer indeed!

This past week, I spent a lovely evening at an outdoor Sigur Røs concert...

and tried hard to find the time to work on my other job, even though I was slightly addicted to watching the Olympics... *sigh* :P

However, I re-listed the "Hibernating Black Bear" in my Etsy Shop - hooray! :D

Are you finding that time is flying by as fast as I am? Aaaahhhhh!  :O

Chloroplast Power!

** NEW ** in my Etsy store....a handpainted roly poly....
